From an invertebrate fossils collection at the Museum of Natural History in Berlin (Germany) is possible to find Ammonites Leonhardianus that was introduced as new species by Karsten in 1858. This taxon, Paralenticeras leonhardianus (Karsten, 1858) was collected at the Barbacoas Village (Morán municipality, Lara state - Venezuela) from a Coniacian calcareous succession to the west of El Tocuyo. To the collection of P. leonhardianus is proposed a lectotype and three paralectotypes. Here 26 specimens are described, measured and illustrated.
